Look, if they're coming to North America, let's get him a housewarming present. Maybe something like https://www.23andme.com/
I'd go $10 for that...

Why anyone actually gives a rat's ass is beyond me. Good luck to 'em and move on.
There's nothing civil about this war.
Socio-biological gender theory says that we still have inherited patterns from the days when we lived in small troops. The interaction of mating and dominance hierarchies were crucially important in the troop. The alpha pairings and movement within the pairings were observed for minute changes to see how it affected you.
In modern times, that predisposition to observe the comings and goings of perceived dominant pairs still exists. It is similar analysis to why some people give a crap about their local sports teams. No need to come up with crazy examples of sports fans. I recall a friend saying he was getting all bent out of shape because of his local coach. Then one day, he sat down and said - who gives a crap.
The team represents the dominant males of your troop competing for territory and resources with the opponent troops. Of course, that isn't true anymore but the biological predisposition to care about a psychological analog of the old troop leaders, their successes and matings is still with us. Unless, you cognitively override them, you care.
My wife and I lamented the Bills recent loss, why?
For fuck's sake, Glenn.
